Shop Cats of New York Giveaway and Bonus Photo Bombs

I have a very cool giveaway for you today! That is, if I can get these interlopers out of the way.

Well! Apparently this giveaway needs teamwork. According to Binga. Like I have a choice. At least you can see the book now.

So let me tell you about Shop Cats of New York! It has 36 profiles of New York cats that live and work in various shops. I can totally relate to these kitties since I’m also a working cat. Don’t worry — these cats aren’t neglected semi-feral mousers. They are beloved family and well cared for by the people at the stores, studios and offices where they live. They enhance their places of employment with their good looks and personality!

The author is a friend of my human’s (and longtime New York resident), Tamar Arslanian. You may know Tamar’s blog, I Have Cat. She teamed up with amazing photographer Andrew Marttila for this coffee table style book. My human was impressed with everything, from the elegant layouts and glossy paper stock to the stunning photos and each and every one of the cats’ stories.

Ivy lives at a pharmacy in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and from the profile, I get the impression that she’s the boss there.

And this is — aw geez! Everybody wants to get into the shot.

Anyhow, you will love this book! You can see more, and get it at Amazon… or you can enter my giveaway! The publisher generously said I could give five copies away to U.S. readers! Just comment on my blog post, then say you did on the Rafflecopter widget below! You will have more ways to gain entries once you do that.

Disclosure: Link to Amazon is an affiliate link, which means I get a small commission if you buy the book after clicking. I was given a complimentary copy of the book for review, but it did not affect my opinion.

I’d love to read about the fun these cats have as Shop Cats 🙂 Sounds like a great book! It must be interesting and exciting for these cats to meet new people each day. I am sure they bring much joy to others as well 🙂

I love this clever coverage of the essential shop cat, the glue that holds a lot of small businesses together in the nicest way. These beautiful animals provide stress relief and balance for owners and customers, insure loyalty and more regular visits by a happy clientele. Kudos for the wonderful idea of a compilation and I hope you continue with updates and more locations!

Awesome kittehs and an awesome book. I hope I win on of the copies up for grabs as I’m too damn poor to afford to buy the book and I would love to have a copy so me and my two furry friends Bandit the 5yr old tuxedo and CC the 18yr old tabby can cuddle up and look at some wonderful working shop kittehs.

Mom is in favor of shop cats everywhere. She rescued a cat that had been hanging around her place of employment and kept Shadow as an office cat for a year and a half before she brought her home. It was a government office but the boss said it was okay because he was an animal lover. Shadow was a beautiful black longhair with huge yellow eyes and was devoted to Mom. She was ancient when Mom rescued her and she lived for another three years after becoming a house cat. Mom always said she possessed the wisdom of the ages and could stare down the devil. What a cool book–we would love to win a copy.

I dunno if the cats in there but there’s been an uproar cos a customer complained about one of the NYC shop cats. GASP! We have three of them within a few blocks of here: my furrend Jamal in the deli, Felix in the liquor store and the printer where TW got her media kid printed has a cat.

Wow! Yous does a great job betting your co0cat to oawticipate!!!
Excellent book too! Yous know there was Shop cats in Midway and Grand Forks BC to keep the mice down!
They is very important!
